      Lifesaving information everyone needs to know but could be presented better.

      Yes root canals are toxic. I wish this show would have focused strictly on the science of root canal toxins and left out some of the more controversial and irrelevant concepts like acupuncture meridians that everyone here is criticizing. Making it sound like an ancient aliens conspiracy documentary is not helping them convince the general public. However, the gist of the message about root canals is true. I developed idiopathic neuropathy shortly after getting two root canals. All the endodontists said the root canals looked great but a CBCT scanner showed otherwise. When I had them recently removed, the surgeon found that the root canals were indeed infected. I also had a cavitation in an extraction site where the periodontal ligament wasn't removed and the surgeon found this was infected too. I am already beginning to recover my health, but don't listen to me.. I guess you should listen to all the qualified endodontists and psychiatrists here protecting their business and all the sadists who want to keep you sick and suffering.

      Finally someone has the balls to tell the truth!

      The American Dental Association does not want you to watch this movie.

      This movie is a whistle blower for the dental industry.

      Everyone needs to see the Netflix documentary, "Root Cause", especially anyone suffering from poor health with no explanations from their MDs as to a cause for their illness. I have been searching, testing and undertaking numerous protocols the past four years, since I retired, to find a root cause to my autoimmune condition and failing health. Nothing has helped. Finally, this movie resonated with me as to a possible breakthrough for understanding my Hashimoto's condition. It is high time that doctors, as well as dentists, begin to recognize that there is and has to be a connection with the mouth and what goes on in our body. Not everyone has a mouth full of dangerous metals and bad dental work, but those such as myself that do need answers. If you're still searching for a cause, this documentary may spell hope and shed some light on the dangers of root canals, untreated abscessed cavitations, and toxicity of metal amalgams.

      Food for thought

      I found this documentary very interesting which gives you something to think about, especially if you're in search of answers. I do find it strange that so many reviewers give it one star and say its untrue. I'm a chronic reader of reviews and I've become pretty good deciphering real from fake reviews. Im just skeptical, thats all. I find that dentist are among the worst thieves, at least here in NJ, from my experience and speaking with others.So, they would be against this documentary.

      Life saving film

      I saw this movie and went to get my meridians checked and saw a Wholisic dentist . I removed 3 teeth. Within just 1 day I felt more energy. This movie says what is truly needed. It gives information from both western and eastern medicine and in combination I found an answer to my problem, in this film. Its true. I cant thank Frazer enough, he opened my eyes to where the problem was, I would have never guessed to look in teeth to find the solution to fatigue and pain. But proof is in the pudding . I have no pain and I feel at least 40% more energy . The low grade pain I had around my chest is completely gone. The day after my surgery I kept blowdrying my hair as I used to be exaused doing that before. But after surgery I did my hair twice in 1 day and I wasnt tired. This is seriously incredible to me to not feel tired. I cleaned more at home , i just cleaned and cleaned it was very unusual for me to continue without any breaks. I still will now check for cavitations and possibly will need some gum cleaning. So I may have further improvement. But at this moment my strength, my luck of fatigue is very real and I received the biggest gift possibly ( my health) and feel better than I have in 24 years. It is a life saving film, to me.

      Eternally grateful.
